Experienced psychologists do not get tired of repeating that children need to make something from an early age. It can be crafts from plasticine, colored paper or any other materials at hand. In the material presented below, we will study the technology for implementing the best cardboard appliqué ideas. Workshops are suitable for children of all ages. Therefore, the article will be useful to parents, educators, teachers, as well as young inquisitive talents.

What is needed to create original crafts

Before you start implementing various ideas, you should prepare a set of materials and tools. However, in most cases, everything that is required is available in every home where the child lives. Since our article is devoted to children's creativity, it means that you certainly won’t have to buy anything. You just need to find and put objects next to you with which we will make an application from cardboard with our own hands:

• ruler;
• simple pencil;
• PVA glue;
• handy scissors;
• varioustypes of colored cardboard (you can use double-sided, velvet, matte, glossy, metallized, corrugated and any other);
• colored pencils, pens or markers.

In addition, for creativity, children will need a soft cloth to remove excess glue from the application, and a small towel for hands. Also, some details are more convenient to follow the template. For this you need album sheets. And of course, I want to decorate each craft beautifully. Therefore, we additionally prepare various decorative elements (beads, sequins, confetti, etc.).

Flowers in a vase

Truly the most popular option for cardboard appliqué is the idea that we will explore in the current paragraph. To perform, you should prepare sheets of cardboard in red, yellow, green, blue and any light shade. Then we take the blue cardboard, turn it face down and draw a vase of arbitrary shape. We try to place the desired item closer to the edge so that the remaining cardboard can still be used for another craft.

After that, we cut out the part, grease it around the edges with glue and gently apply it to the base. It is important to remember that we also need to fit the flowers on the cardboard application. Therefore, we place the vase at the bottom of the sheet. Lightly slap and remove excess glue with a cloth. Then we draw three sticks and three leaves on green cardboard. Cut out but not glued yet. On red cardboard we depict three flowers, on yellow - the same number of circles. Cut out all the details. Further,glue the stems to the vase, trying to move them as close as possible so that there are no gaps. We attach leaves and flowers on top. As the next layer, attach the hearts of the flowers.

Having completed the work, let the cardboard applications dry for an hour. And even then we present an interesting craft to someone close as a gift or use it as a room decor. For example, children's bedroom decorations.

Toptyzhka Bear

Children love various animals and often make them from various materials. In this paragraph, we will consider the technology of making a funny bear made of cardboard. To make this craft, you need to prepare brown cardboard, yellow, black, white and any other as a background. The idea shown in the photo uses red. Then we print out the template, cut it out and transfer the details for the bear onto a brown sheet. We outline the stencils with a simple pencil from the wrong side of the cardboard. Then cut and attach to the base. From yellow cardboard we cut out the ears, nose and belly of the bear. We glue, not forgetting to remove excess glue with a cloth. Then cut out the eyes and nose, glue. If desired, decorate the finished bear with a bow.

If such a cardboard application is difficult for a child, you can cut a bear out of circles and ovals. As shown in the photo. Both versions of the work will be performed with pleasure by the young talent. And how delighted the child's relatives will be with such an original gift, and it's not worth saying.

Crocodile Gena

Even modern children are delighted with many heroes of Soviet cartoons. Therefore, at this point, we want to invite parents to perform a cute and kind crocodile Gena with their child. To do this, you just need to prepare cardboard in green, red and any other color (for the background). After that, print the templates on the printer. Or we redraw it by placing a thin landscape sheet on the screen of a computer or laptop. Carefully cut out the templates and transfer them to sheets of the appropriate shade. Then we start assembling. We lay the base in front of us and glue the body of the crocodile onto it. Above it are the upper and lower paws. After we "put on" a hat on our hero. On the jacket, we first fold the collar along the dotted line. We give applications from colored cardboard to dry for one to two hours. Then draw the muzzle.

Crocodile from circles

For younger children, you can offer a different version of crafts. To make it, you need a sheet of red cardboard, and green, yellow and red colored paper. It is also necessary to prepare a compass. Therefore, parents or caregivers will have to help the baby so that he does not accidentally get hurt. Having prepared everything you need, we proceed to the implementation of a three-dimensional application from cardboard and colored paper. On green paper we draw two large circles - the head and bodies of the crocodile. We add six smaller parts and eight very small ones. Cut out without going beyond the limit line. On a yellow sheet, draw two circles, equal indiameter of the last green. Then we draw the same on a red sheet. Also cut out. Then fold all the circles in half. And we begin to stick to the base, forming a crocodile. First we put the largest circle - this is the torso. Add a tail of two smaller circles, and glue the smallest ones on the back. Glue yellow eyes on the muzzle and draw black circles on them - pupils. We supplement the crocodile with a finished muzzle, paws and a red tongue. The latter must be glued inside the head. Finally, set the cardboard and colored paper appliqué aside and let it dry for a few hours. After that, we delight loved ones with crafts.

Blossoming cactus

Lovers of original crafts can be offered the following beautiful and unusual option. For its implementation, it is necessary to prepare beige or light-colored cardboard (for the background), as well as compasses and colored paper in green and red. Then we draw three circles of five different sizes on a green sheet. On red we depict flowers. Then we cut out all the details and proceed to assembly. Fold all circles in half. We cut red colored paper into small triangles - cactus needles. Glue them to circles. Next, glue three circles of the same size to the base, forming a flower of the desired shape. At the end, add red flowers.

Children with an application made of cardboard and colored paper will cope in a few minutes, but there will be so much joy from creativity that words cannot express. In addition, an unusual volumetric craft can bewill be easily placed in the living room or bedroom of the parents.

Dog Pinscher Bob

Various corrugated cardboard crafts look very interesting. One of them can be seen in the photo.

It begins with the preparation of black, brown and white plain cardboard, brown corrugated cardboard and satin ribbon. In this case, blue with white polka dots. Then we fold a sheet of ordinary brown cardboard, which will serve as the background of our application, in half. Thus, we are preparing the basis of the postcard. Then we cut off the satin ribbon of the desired length and glue it to the front of the "booklet". Then we prepare the dog template. To do this, we take a white album sheet and draw a conceived animal on it. Then we cut out the template and transfer it to corrugated cardboard. Cut out the animal and glue it on the card. Wet excess glue with a rag. We complement our dog with black eyes and a collar with a heart. Finally, let our corrugated cardboard appliqué dry thoroughly.

Autumn application

For some reason, it is generally accepted that autumn is the most boring and dull time. However, even this time of year can be revived with the help of bright crafts. Therefore, further we invite the reader to study the technology for making an interesting application with owls. She needs to prepare a sheetcardboard of any light shade, brown, red, pink and yellow colored paper, a hole punch, a brush, a small cap with water and a few scraps of metallized cardboard. Having completed the preparatory there, we proceed to the main one. We draw a tree of arbitrary shape on a brown sheet. Cut out and glued to base. Cut out owls from red colored paper. And we have on the branches. We supplement them with eyes and a beak. After dripping a little glue into the lid with water and stir well. Why, with the help of a brush, we apply the resulting water along the lower edge of the base and between the branches of the tree. Scatter prepared confetti on top. In conclusion, we decorate the owls with leaves cut out of metallized cardboard. And finally, we let our original application "Autumn" from cardboard and colored paper to dry.

It is also important to note that, by analogy, you can perform a winter application. You just need to use blue cardboard as a background, and instead of yellow-red confetti, take white ones.

Hedgehog in the autumn forest

The next craft looks very interesting. Requires a color printer to run. However, if it is not available, it is permissible to use a magazine clipping that depicts an autumn landscape. Or you can invite the child to draw a forest in a golden-crimson decoration. We print out the parts necessary to assemble the hedgehog or redraw it from the screen of a computer or laptop. Then we prepare the templates and use them to draw and cut out various colored cardboardflowers part of our crafts. Having completed all these steps, we proceed to assemble an interesting application from colored cardboard. It is important to note that all parts are numbered, so young talents will not be able to lose the place where this or that part should be. In addition, an attentive reader could notice that the eyes of the hedgehog shown in the photo are not made of cardboard. These can be purchased at any craft store.

Creative parents can complete the following craft with their children. To do this, prepare a sheet of blue, black, blue and orange cardboard. As well as a compass, twelve large beads, a corrector pen and a working mechanism from an unnecessary watch. When everything you need is at hand, let's get creative. First of all, draw a circle of arbitrary size on a sheet of blue cardboard. Blue has two clouds. One is large, the other is slightly smaller. On the reverse side of the black cardboard we draw a crow and two wings - large and small. On an orange leaf - a beak and paws. Then we cut out all the details and proceed to assembly. Glue two clouds onto the blue circle as shown in the photo. Then we attach the beak and paws to the body of the crow. Then we make a small hole in the center of the circle and insert the clockwork into it. We remove the arrows and attach the body of the crow on top. We glue a large wing on a large arrow, a small one on a small one. Then, with a corrector pen, we put down the numbers from one to twelve. Next to each we attach a bead. On theThis master class on how to make an appliqué out of cardboard ends, and we just have to let the craft dry thoroughly. Then it can be used for its intended purpose.

Another great appliqué idea is done with thread. We will describe this technology in detail below. It begins with the preparation of the yarn of the desired shades. In this case, black and white. You will also need a sheet of blue and white cardboard, a small yellow hair tie, two small bowls, and some water. Then we proceed to the application of threads on cardboard. First of all, draw a silhouette of a cat on a sheet of cardboard. If necessary, first we depict the animal on a white landscape sheet, cut it out and transfer it to the base. Next, we proceed to the most difficult. Gently apply glue along the contour. On top we have a black knitting thread. We complement the silhouette with a mustache and leave it for several hours so that the glue dries well. At this time, finely cut the yarn with scissors. We do not mix colors, but pour each into its own bowl. Add water to it and mix everything thoroughly. We apply the white mixture first, gradually filling the entire body of the cat. Then we add strips of black yarn on the back, and spots on the head and ears. Next, we need to prepare the frame. To do this, take a sheet of cardboard of the same size as the base. Using the ruler in the middle, draw a rectangle, pre-determining the width of the frame. Cut out. We attach the tip of the white knitting thread from the inside. And we start wrapping the frame. Similarwe perform actions with black yarn. And finally, glue the frame to the base. Add an elastic band imitating the moon. And let our thread appliqué on cardboard dry completely.
